Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not optimized for aluminum alloys, leading to poor edge quality.Employ high-speed steel or carbide tooling specifically designed for aluminum machining to achieve clean, precise cuts.
Insufficient surface preparation before welding, resulting in weld defects.Thoroughly degrease and mechanically abrade the weld joint area to remove oxidation and contaminants before TIG or MIG welding.

Common Applications

  • Custom heat exchanger fabrication
  • Pressure vessel components
